and why? Will be moving to the Villages full time later this year and currently use a credit union. But Citizens is so close at each mail box center. But the fees? Any opinion will be appreciated other than keeping my money under a mattress.

If convenience is important to you, and you like to use the ATMs, then Citizens might be the best for you. (I've never used an ATM in my life because I use my debit card to get cash at the stores where I shop.)

As far as fees, I do my banking at BB&T and have never paid a fee of any kind.

As far as bank interest, forgetaboutit. If you want a good return on your money, buy some shares of stock in a company that pays a good dividend.
